Brassica 'Sunset'

Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 1995

Good Qualities

Turned beautiful pink and white in the fall, color variable but intense in some plants.

Problems

Insects, poor germination, not marketable, limited use in our market.

Comments

This species did best in cool weather and probably did not do as well in the trial overall because we were not able to get the seed to the participants until late February.
